The Big One's Get Away.
Buffy Saint-Marie
Album: Coincidence & Likely Stories.
Intro: CAm7FG6C
Hey, Baby I just got back from town,Am7
Where the bribes are paid,
C
Honey, they turned my offer down,
G/FG
They say the deals already made,
G6C
So now I gotta stand and watch,
Am7
While it all comes down,
Fmaj7
And the buzzards and the hawks,
And the judges and the mob,
Bb6C/GG7
Circle round.
EmCAm7
Now if I were the queen of all the world,
CG7
I would go in chains just to see you free,
C
Of the ropes that bind you,
Am7
And the role you play,
CEmC
And the pride that hooks you,
G7C/GEmCG
While the big ones get away,
C
Love junkies wanna change the world,
Am7
It quickly stays the same,
Fmaj7C
And money junkies hire all the smart ones,
G6
Power junkies run the game.
CAm7
One step at a time, Polarity Hill,
G/FC
If the bad guys don't get you, baby,
F6C/GG
Then the good guys will,
CCmaj7
With angels on the take,
Am
And gangsters in the yard,
Fmaj7
Hey don't the wars come easy,
C/GG7
Hey don't the peace come hard.
CAm7
Now if I had a way, to reach the sky,
Fmaj7
I'd grab that crescent moon,
F
Wield it like a knife,
C/GG6
Save you from the lies,
CCmaj7
From the ropes that bind you,
Am7
And the role you play,
C
And the game that hooks you,
CG7
Now the bug one's get away.
